Ingredient Substitutions
Cornbread. I recommend making this - best ever cornbread recipe and using the leftovers to make these cornbread croutons. It's best to use cornbread that's a day or two old. You could always use a box mix to make it even easier. There are also boxes that are gluten-free, dairy-free, etc. so you can make the croutons comply to your dietary needs.
Olive Oil. Any neutral oil works well, but olive oil is my favorite. Canola oil and avocado oil are the two substitutions I'd recommend.
Fine sea salt. regular salt works too, you may just need to decrease the amount.
